Day 12 - Wednesday, June 19 |
Today we headed to Lulu Academy, a small private Christian school in the center of a small village community, to teach the 6 hour program all in one day. The students all looked so bright in their purple, white, and black uniforms. Considering the length of the day, they were attentive and well behaved.
When I wasn't presenting I enjoyed looking out the window of the classroom which looked out onto the small village center. There in the center of the village was a large teak tree with a wood and tin open air vegetable stand in its shade. Women arrived, first one, then another, with their vegetables and fruit in bundles carried on their head and babies on their backs, and set up to sell their goods. Toddlers played in the red sandy dirt, school children in their uniforms stopped to buy a snack, and women chatted. It seemed a lovely and friendly way to spend a day.
At the end of our class three boys and one girl asked for prayer. One of the boys rather surprised me because during the presentation he seemed disinterested, with that well known teenage "I know it all" expressions. He never asked any questions nor offered to answer any. But at the end of the class he asked for prayer to receive Jesus and to make good choices. It just reminded me that I can never predict what the Holy Spirit is doing . He can do far and above what my little mind can imagine. No one is hopeless.
As we headed home after a bit of shopping in town we came across a herd of warthogs getting water from the town drainage ditch. Ah, Africa!
